(WSCR) Cubs center fielder Marlon Byrd has been playing for the organization’s Triple-A affiliate this week, trying to get ready to return to the lineup. Byrd was placed on the disabled list in late-March, after being hit in the face with a pitch while the team was in Boston.

“I’m going on my fourth game (in Iowa) today, and I’m going to see how I feel after the game,” Byrd said on the Mully and Hanley Show. “If everything goes well, I could be back tomorrow. Or if I need another day, I’ll be back on Sunday.”
